I'm going to start a PBEM-game. Please send me a mail if you're interested (or write a reply here). All settings can be arranged after the wishes of the players involved.

I am interested in an email game. Just started playing though so if it will be advanced levels may not work yet.

Thanks. I'll play PKs

fishin_buddy: What level would you like? I don't mind playing on a low level.
fishin_buddy posted 05-07-99 02:38 PM ET
Talent or specialists would be good. Haven't tried higher yet. Maybe UoP or Mor

I'd be happy to play as well.
Wouldn't mind the Gaians, but will play any faction available.

I'm in Sweden, Central European Time zone.

Well, now Peacekeepers, Gaians, UoP and Morganites are all taken. Are you still interested tscheihing? If not, please tell me so. If I don't get any more players soon I will just start the game. It will probably be pretty hard to find anyone who wants to play Spartans, Hive or Believers anyway.

I wasn't going to reply to this thread, but now that someone has claimed that no one will want to play the Hive, I want in. Assuming, of course, that the Hive is still open...

If you guys need an EST time zone to fill in the game I'll take any faction or be an alternate in case you have someone drop.
I've narrowed my play window to 5-11pm EST.
Its tough to have to wait on a turn till midnight, and then it doesn't show....
Rigil_Kentaurus posted 05-07-99 08:12 PM ET
Due to the time the game will take if there are to many players, I will not accept any more. Sorry jimmytrick, but I'll put you up as an alternate.

Here are the datalinks for the seeker faction:
#DATALINKS1
^LEADER: {Xandre Blackheart}
^BACKGROUND: {United States, Unity Data Admin}
^AGENDA: {Research, Power, Information.}
^TECH: {Information Networks}
^
#DATALINKS2
^Beginning Unit: {Probe Team}
^+1 RESEARCH: {Espionage}
^-1 POLICE: {Lack of Ethics}
^TECHSHARE 4: {Espionage}
^Free NETWORK NODE at every base
^Extra DRONE for every five citizens {(lack of ethics)}
^Extra TALENT for every seven citizens {(free software)}
^+1 PROBE: {Brilliant Technicians}
^{No Probe Penalty for Knowledge Value.}
^{May not use Police State Politics.}
If you think they're too much like the UoP we can also use the Borg:
#DATALINKS1
^LEADER: {The Borg Queen}
^BACKGROUND: {A powerful civilization of cybernetically enhanced humanoids.}
^AGENDA: {Perfection via melding of biological, mechanical, and technological integration.}
^TECH: {Doctrine: Loyalty}
^
#DATALINKS2
^+2 INDUSTRY: {Tireless workforce & superior industrial infrastructure.}
^-2 PLANET: {Couldn't care less - The planet is a resource to be exploited!}
^{May not use Democratic politics. Penalized for Eudaimonic politics.}
^{Advanced comprehensive adaptability means no inefficiency.}
^{Fearless combatants receive a +50% Bonus vs. Psi attacks.}

Tell me if you like one of these (they're not mine, just if you would like them for this game). If not, we'll simply use Believers. If you want to see them in action I will put them at http://home.sol.no/~habari/smac/facs.htm (yeah, I know it's long, but you can paste the address).

The seekers sound ok aslong as they do not start next to me.(hehe)
dr_avalanche posted 05-08-99 08:20 PM ET
They're okay with me, but I will need instructions how to insert them instead of the current faction, the Believers.
Rigil_Kentaurus posted 05-08-99 08:41 PM ET
Well, you shouldn't have to do anything as long as i load it when I create the game.
Once more: How many yeas and how many nays for Seeker or Borg faction?
I'll try to start the game as soon as possible now, and I think I'll use time warp no matter what you think, 'cause I've tried PBEM without it and it sucks... bad.
